IIRC we determined that using UTF8 *on both the client and server sides* is safe. You can get burnt with combinations such as server_encoding = UTF8 and client_encoding = SJIS (exposing PQescapeString's naivete), or with client_encoding = UTF8 and server_encoding = anything else (exposing the server's weak validity checking during conversion). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
